The city election passed off quietly
on Tuesday. with one discreditable ex-
ception. There were no political dis
cussions noticed, for there were no dis
tinct political issues involved in the
election. The ticket distributors were
polite and extremely Obliging. The
voting in the different wards com.
menced promptly on time. A hand
some array of carriages were standing
on the street i'll front of the Court
House, where the polls of the first ward
were open. Voters were courteously
given a ride from their homes to the
polls and returned, if desired, after
having deposited their ballots. Doubt
less there were men who enjoyed ride
in nicely upholstered carriage on
election day who had not had such a
luxury for many months. This is all
we'll enough if citizens vote has
value, it is worth at least a free ride to
the polls.

The public schools of this city closed
on Friday last, and will be in vacation
until Monday, April IS, on which day
they will resume sessions. All the de-
partments of the school appear to
have been prosperous during the win
ter, and good progress has been made.
At the close of next term it is expected
there will he good number of finished
graduates. Whatever reverses or
drawbacks Kenosha has sustained in
its past history, its free school, estab-
lished over forty years ago, being the
first free school in the state, and in
fact the first in the great Northwest,
has sustained rank and position among
the best in the state. Many cities have
finer school edilices, and probably more
elegant furnishmentS, but none have
had an average of more competent,
faithful and earnest teachers. What
ever may be the future of Kenosha,
whether it falls into decay, or rises in

The city election on Tuesday was no
great surprise. Matters were so much
mixed that it was next to impossible
to predict the result. We would have
wished "a different result, and more
judicious policy. 1t is true there was
embarrassment because so many good
men who were first nominated declined
to stand as candidates. There may
exigencies arise when a coalition of
parties is expedient. and may be means
of preventing a wrong, but it quite as
often works disOrganization in the end.
Ever since the formation of the Re-
publican party-a party which has
brought the country through so many
perilS of war and financial difficulties
"a party that still lives, and is deter
mined to continue to live in this great
Republic-we have endeavored TO do
our little share in keeping it's flag aloft,
so long as the great national parties
continue to hold thier position before
the country. 1t is often better to suf-
fer defeat in minority than triumph
in crowd of antagonisms.

AN ESTIMABLE LADY AT.
TEMPTS TO DROWN HER
CETF

Mrs. Angus Cameron, wife of ex-
United States Senator Cameron, of La
Crosse, Wis, while in a condition of
mental derangement, attempted to
drown herself in the Mississippi river
last week. She was rescued from the
water in time to save her life. Mrs.
Cameron, while with her husband in
Washington, was the most popular
lady ever before or since with the Wis
consin men and women employed in
the departments of the government in
that city. She was a woman of rare
intellectual endowments and personal
attractions. Senator Cameron occu-
pied fine house, fronting on the park,
north of the National capitol. Mrs.
Cameron, unlike the wives of other
Senators, gave weekly receptions to
residents of her own state. These per-
sons were mostly department clerks
and employees of the government; they
were an intelligent class, and really
quite as respectable as members of
Congress. They only occupied lower
grade in the ranks of Washington So
ciety. No Senator's wife could have
more readily drawn to her house peo-
pie of high position and fashion than
Mrs. Cameron, had she desired to do so .
but she preferred to entertain people
from her own state, few of whom, un-
less members of Congress or other
equally important officials, are seldom
invited to what is called first-class So
ciety in the capital of this Republic.
Possessing these traits of character, it
is easily explained why Mrs. Cameron
was favorite Of the many Wisconsin
men and women who are always found
in Washington.
1t will be remembered that three or
four years ago, Mrs. Cameron, in cross
ing Brooklyn ferry, received severe
injury, which confined her to room
for nearly year. She recovered, as
was supposed, but had relapse. The
character of her injury was such as
tended to produce occasional symptoms
of insanity.

IN THE STATE.

In most of the cities in the state
party lines between Republicans and
Democrats were not drawn, yet on the
whole, so far as appears from the re.
turns where the issue was between
the two parties, the Republicans have
well sustained themselves. In Racine
the Citizens ticket, composed of Re-
publicans and Democrats, DIN, Dem,
was>elected Mayor by 245 majority over
the Workingmen's candidate. In Mil
waukee there was no election for
Mayor.

THE FISHERY TROUBLE SET
TIED WITHOUT WAR.

Only few months ago the clamor-
lists for war would have it the United
States was in immediate danger of war
with Great Britain in relation to the
fishery question. The necessity of a
line of war defences on our exposed
sea coast and of gunboats on the great
lakes was urged on Congress. The ap-
peals for war preparations did not
mainly come from those who really
feared the disastrous consequences of
war, but from thousands who desired
war as affording wide field for specu.
lation. A period of war is always
taken advantage Of by those who are
intent on making money out of such
calamities. Whenever speck of war
appears on the horizon there are many
people toe impatient to wait for ami
cable settlement; they insist on imme-
date reparation for alledged wrongs,
without stopping for explanations.
The fishery dispute is now about the
same as settled; all it needed was
right understanding of the case by
the governments. Not long before the
fishery trouble began our sensitive
people declared we were on the eve of
war with Mexico. The cause for
this buster was occasioned by the inn
prisonment of an American adventurer
in Mexico. The Justice of his impris-
onment was debatable question, but
the war spirits did not succeed in max
ing anything of consequence out of it.
AS has been before remarked in the
TELEGRAPH, the United States has not
had war with any power beyond the
seas since the war of 1812-over seven
ty years ago-and that could have been
easily avoided by arbitration. Readers
of our war history will remember that
the United States declared a war with
England because British ships insisted
on what was called "the right of
search that is, The right to search
American vessels on the high seas, to
ascertain whether there were British
deserters who had taken refuge on
American vessels. This right being
insisted upon, led to the declaration Of
war, which lasted three years. In the
treaty of peace which was concluded
at the close of the war, not a word was
said about the right of search. The
question after the war closed was ask
ed, What did the war gain for this
cOuntry?" The answer was, "The
United States has shown 10 the world
its ability to fight the most powerful
nation of Europe" The war spirit
which fought for glory in 1912 still
lives and is anxious for chance to
fight for glory again the first oppor-
tunity that offers.
